Okay, I've had this problem before once. I can't seem to calm down or control my thoughts after "I'm dreaming!" comes into my head. For example, I'll explain my dream this night.

I was in some kind of war zone. I don't know how it just appeared to me that it was a dream. It just came into my head. So, what should I do? Well.

Take account of surroundingsRub handsLook at handsAnd just generally get into the dream-body

What do I do?I run around like it was still a dream thinking about my body in the real world and, like to be expected. Woke up. Good thing I was able to change one thing before waking up! (Changed a sign that said X so it said Y, I know. Magician right?)

Or, a dream I had. Well, 1 year ago? A looong time ago, trust me.I was trying to get into lucid dreaming, but I didn't have a dream journal so I gave up with the tought of that. But!

One night, I was in a school cafeteria with all the seats filled with ponies. I don't know if I somehow did the DILD technique without knowing it or something else. I did look at my hands but I woke up by the thought of my body again. Darn, I wanted to pet a pony. These ponies were cute, alright?

Anyway, does anyone here know how to control their minds better to NOT think about the things you aren't supposed to think about? Or does it just come with time? I mean, a week after attempting to try to get into lucid dreaming and actually becoming lucid I am pretty happy.

Come to think of it, I also experienced my head being pretty heavy and annoying to control in the dream. Is this just me not being in the dream body enough?
